Midfielder apparently enjoyed a clip from ArsenalFanTV titled 'Wenger needs to go!!' following terrible Gunners defeat at Chelsea
ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN appeared to throw his support behind the movement calling for Arsene Wenger to quit Arsenal - before a hasty retraction.
The Gunners were outplayed by Chelsea in a 3-1 defeat which all but ended their title hopes for another season.
And following the match, the midfielder liked a tweet from ArsenalFanTV which read: "ARSENE WENGER NEEDS TO GO!!".
But the like was swiftly deleted, and three hours later he tweeted claiming it was a mistake.
He posted: "I didn't mean to like that post earlier obviously... Didn't even realise I had!"

The channel is popular among football fans, who enjoy the opinionated views of the Gooners faithful.

Marcos Alonso scored a controversial opener before a moment of genius from Eden Hazard.
The Belgian spectacularly doubled Chelsea’s lead early in the second half with a stunning goal, picking the ball up on the halfway line, weaving his way past a number of Gunners defenders before calmly lofting the ball over Petr Cech for 2-0.
That contender for goal of the season knocked the stuffing out of Arsenal with Chelsea still looking the more likely to score until the final kick – with former Gunner Cesc Fabregas rubbing salt into the wound with a 25-yard chip past Cech after a woeful clearance.
Olivbier Giroud scored a late consolation but it was not enough to convince some fans that Wenger has what it takes to challenge for the title.
